As part of my 'training' to get myself out in the dating world (alongside some cosmetic changes and weight loss), I'm trying to figure out how to hold a good, interesting, intelligent conversation with someone. Then I realized, I'm pretty good at holding a conversation once I can get one started. I've had the idea of wearing clothing that might intrigue someone or make someone laugh (like a shirt that says "Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?") but some of them seem kind of....nerdy. What are some good ways to start a conversation with a complete stranger?
